colour with washing soda can be detected very easily using
concentrated HCL
Experiment – 03
Method Of Detection :
1) Name Of Tests:
• Palm Test
• Water Test
• Metanil Test
• Lead Chromate Test
• Chalk Powder Test
• Starch Test
i. Palm Test :
Put a pinch of turmeric on your palm and massager for 20
seconds
Observations :
Observations :
If it settles it is real turmeric and if it doesn’t settle and leaves
a dark yellow colour it is adulterated.
